EXQUISITE

Exquisite is a unisex extrait de parfum by Attar Al Has, the house founded in Istanbul in 2021 that blends Ottoman tradition with contemporary perfumery, signed by perfumer Marc Daniel Heimgartner. It belongs to the Exclusive Collection: a refined, seductive floral fruity gourmand, sweet but never ordinary, with a feeling of luxury you notice from the very first spray.

The Fragrance

The Exclusive Collection is the heart of Attar Al Has: nine fragrances conceived as an olfactory tribute to the splendour of the Ottoman Empire and to the tales of the Thousand and One Nights, housed in precious bottles inspired by the jewels and palaces of Istanbul. Exquisite is its most gourmand and playful face: a refined gourmandise inspired by Oriental confectionery and Ottoman opulence, which the brand describes as an experimental, seductive and irresistibly captivating fragrance. A perfume that combines the liveliness of fruit with the softness of a signature dessert, in a surprising balance between freshness and sweetness.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is sparkling and juicy: pink grapefruit, blackcurrant and iced raspberry intertwine with the sweetness of Turkish delight, the famous Turkish sweet, and of candied fruits. In the heart, rose petals and cherry blossom bloom, wrapped in the caramelised creaminess of dulce de leche and a warm touch of saffron. The base is soft and enveloping: woody notes, vanilla, pistachio and white musk leave a sweet, creamy and sophisticated trail on the skin.

Who We Recommend Exquisite To

We recommend Exquisite to anyone who loves gourmand yet elegant perfumes, with a fruity, floral soul that makes them bright and lively. It is perfect for free time, aperitifs and evenings, from spring to autumn, and it appeals to those looking for a cheerful, sensual fragrance that makes people smile. Unisex, it naturally wins over any skin.

Fragrance Characteristics

FAQ

What is the Turkish delight you can smell in Exquisite?
Turkish delight, or lokum, is the typical Istanbul sweet made with sugar and rose water. In Exquisite it is a direct tribute to the house's Turkish origins and gives the opening a delicate, recognisable sweetness.

Is Exquisite too sweet?
No: its sweetness is balanced by a sparkling, slightly tangy fruity side and by a woody, musky base. The result is a bright, elegant gourmand, pleasant even on warmer days.

What is the Attar Al Has Exclusive Collection?
It is the collection with which the house debuted in 2021: nine fragrances inspired by the splendour of the Ottoman Empire and the tales of the Thousand and One Nights, including Exquisite, My Magic, Fleur de Tabac, Metallic Oud and Passion Oud.

How long does Exquisite last on the skin?
As an extrait de parfum, it has excellent staying power: it accompanies the whole day with a soft, pleasant trail that stays close to the skin, becoming ever creamier as the hours pass.
